It is estimated there are 100 billion planets in the Milky Way, itself one of hundreds of billions of galaxies. On one planet, Earth, we know life arose, but there should be millions of Earth-like habitable planets in our galaxy alone with the capability to support life. This begs the question: Where is everyone else?

This is a problem that has long plagued astrophysicists, and there’s no clear answer. It is known as the Fermi Paradox, having been first postulated by Italian astronomer Enrico Fermi in 1950. If life is so abundant, he said, why have we never heard from anyone?

There are a number of possible solutions, some more unnerving than others. Let’s take a look at a few of them.

The first, and perhaps most popular, simply relates to the vast distances involved in the cosmos. Consider that habitable planets in our own galaxy can be thousands of light-years away, making two-way communication via electromagnetic radiation – the only way we know how to communicate – nigh on impossible. For galaxies beyond the Milky Way, millions of light-years away, this obviously becomes even more difficult. It may be that distances are simply too large for conversations to take place across space-time.

We haven’t looked hard enough

It may also just be that we haven’t looked hard enough. To date, most of our searches for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) have relied on limited hunts using a few telescope arrays around the world; the SETI Institute has performed most of this searching so far but, as of yet, nothing has been found.

Earlier this year, a $100 million (£65 million) project called Breakthrough Listen was announced, funded by Russian billionaire Yuri Milner, which will be the most extensive search for signals yet. It will use two of the most powerful radio telescopes in the world, the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia and the Parkes Observatory in Australia, to scour the closest million stars to Earth, and also the nearest 100 galaxies, for any signals either purposefully or accidentally sent our way. It’s our best chance of finding anything yet.

Above is the first of an excellent two-part series on the Fermi Paradox by Kurzgesagt.

The Great Filter

If nothing is found after the 10 years the Breakthrough Listen project is expected to run, though, things get a bit more tricky. One other solution to the Fermi Paradox suggests that there is a Great Filter in the universe, at which intelligent life stops, perhaps through self-destruction or for other reasons. It could be that we are the first species to pass this filter, or we are yet to reach it – and all other intelligent civilizations before us have been destroyed. Eek.

Yes. This is ridiculous. There is enormous evidence that aliens have been living in underground bases on this planet for many millenia. Many sane and even important people have reportedly been contacted by them. Even the U.S. military acknowledges contact and communication and worse (or better, actually, such as when they shut down our nuclear missiles). Look at the Disclosure Project. So what’s wrong with the scientism guys? Why do they keep denying that we have been contacted by aliens? Why does SETI even exist, as it goes against any rational sense that aliens would be communicating with us using radio waves? Scientists should be leading, not following, but they seem to have lost their way.

James Nguyen I would not attempt to who has been on earth,, so regardless of people’s ignorance accepting the truth ,,, I would not be the ignorance one ( lol. It’s no telling who has been on this earth //

There does not seem to be any out there within our lifespan or equipments lifespan’s reach, the next thing is the lightyear thing less of a chance. It does however seems the earth’s humans may have received abstract intelligence about 6000 years ago meaning humans can be controlled by suggestive methods instead of outright murder(basic instincs). That means the earth might be the last planet to harbour human life even if the universe is expanding. My theory… till aliens shows up by actually landing on earth, and it be front page news on ALL newspapers for 3 months flatout, and the news will be so real that new newspapers evolve just to carry the story-Now this WILL end all speculation. So far aliens appears in movies and was fabricated(& spaceships)-(Any shape was made to fly or at least tried by early developers) in underground bunkers/secret areas during the 20-50-ties +/-.the 40-ties also sparked a need for social science to find more ways to effectively controll the evolving mass populations. If aliens with superior intelligence, especially social intelligence should land and struck a conversation, our current leaders response would be priceless to observe especially if they show sympathy to the middle class and poor people.

Studies have shown that no, most of us will not freak out. That is a bogus reason used by the CIA and their friends to keep us in the dark. It has been a long time since the War of the Worlds broadcast, and most people know more now.

If we haven’t it is because the government does not allow it. Also one of the reasons may be because they know we would start to worship them. Billions would gather in a concert like fashion and would light up their lighters and sing and pray and bent over to them, crying like little girls asking for lots of things. Then, they(aliens) would regret coming, but it would be too late. We would build idols made of anything and sell it. It would also create churches to worship them. A guy in alien paraphernalia and funny hat wold conduct the service. At the end it would require donations to keep the church afloat. You know the rest.

If life starts from a sperm and egg as they unite why then wonder where does that life go after wards? Be spiritial than intellectial. What we saw will reap. The path is within us and that life too, if find that path walk in or else wonder and come back may be this time you will be fire wood or a dog. who doesn’t know life is journy? If, walk it till we get their. We are equipt with everything. Life does not end with death but pass through death to the next world. That union being separated duling death time. Amen

There is no one else…God made us and only us because He wanted someone to spend time with…people are so concerned on what’s out there and don’t concerned themselves with what’s happening here on earth. With all the homeless and people that die of hunger in other countries, why would God make more than one earth when we don’t care to lift a finger for this one….His name is Jesus Christ and He died and gave His life for this world.

By saying this, you are deliberately choosing to be ignorant to facts (things that have been scientifically proven), such as finding planets that could potentially sustain human life, finding “intelligent lifeforms” on other planets, or the fact that the galaxy is infinite and there are millions of planets and millions of places for other beings to live. We are most definitely NOT alone in this galacy. And that is a fact.

It has also been scientifically proven that everything that science knows about everything there is to know about everything could be entirely wrong meaning there could actually be a God that created the heavens and the earth and the stars and everything that we know today. It’s also been proven that most of science is based off of theories and hypothesis. All I know is that my life has never been the same since I accepted My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and asked forgiveness of my sins. Jesus died for everyone and that’s what I choose to believe, you don’t have to believe that Allyson Phillips and I’m not trying to throw Jesus on to you or anyone else. I’m only tend to share Jesus and His love, it’s entirely up to you and everyone else to accept Him or not I’m not sent here to judge anyone only to love everyone despite our differences and I fail at times just the same as anyone else but I promise to always succeed more in doing what’s right than whats wrong in my life not anyone else’s because it’s what I choose whether I seem ignorant in serving or sharing Jesus I will stand proud I my ignorance.

INDEED WHERE IS EVERYONE ELSE ON THIS ISSUE? – John Bothwell TO: THE US SENATE MEMBERS – A CONVERSATION WITH MONSANTO – Cairenn Day – CAIRENN THIS NOT ABOUT PEER REVIEWED STUDIES OR SCIENCE ANYMORE CAIRENN. IT IS ABOUT COMPLETE LOSS OF TRUST THAT WAS REPEATEDLY VIOLATED BY MONSANTOS FOR DECADES. WHOLE COUNTRIES HAVE BANNED MONSANTOS ET AL FROM OPERATING ANYWHERE WITHIN THEIR BORDERS. AND THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING. MORE AND MORE COUNTRIES ARE BRIEFLY PAUSING THEIR BUSY LIVES TO MORE CAREFULLY EXAMINE THE TRULY VILE OPERATING METHODS OF MONSANTOS ET AL IN THEIR COUNTRY AND BANNING MONSANTOS AS WELL. YET MONSANTOS ET AL ARE EVEN MORE ANXIOUS TO SACRIFICE HUMANITY TO THEIR SELFISH ENDS, BECAUSE THEY REALIZE THAT THEIR DAYS ARE NUMBERED. NO CAIRENN, HITTING THE “RESET BUTTON” MORE FREQUENTLY WILL NOT WORK ANYMORE. THE PEOPLE ARE ONTO THE MONSANTOS OF THE WORLD. PLEASE HAVE THE COURAGE TO DIGEST THE INFORMATION WE HAVE PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED TO YOU CAREINN, EVEN THOUGH I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS ON MOST PEOPLE’S STOMACHS. ***IS A GENERAL REFERENDUM NECCESSARY TO FORCE THE GOVERNMENT TO FULFILL THE PEOPLES’ WISHES IN BANNING MONSANTOS ET AL FROM WITHIN THE BORDERS OF THE USA? PLEASE LISTEN TO THE 93% OF AMERICANS THAT WANT GMO LABELLING AND VOTE AGAINST THE DARK ACT, AND DO NOT DENY THE RIGHT OF AMERICANS TO KNOW.

Life maybe abundant but what about intelligent life ? Of the billions of species that have lived on earth through its 4.5 billion year history, only one has had the capacity to contact probable extraterrestrial life and if you consider the red queen theory of evolution , even if you repeat the same evolutionary steps you may not get the same result so permute and calculate that into your theory of probabilities !

Aliens are at a different level than us. We would of had a lot more contacts if they felt we could exchange and learn from each other. Human are full of fear and anger. Our leaders fouls us, kills us. and destroy our planet for they’re own power ego trip. Even with all the military power we humans have, we cant do nothing to them. They’ve been there, done that. Its not a question of who’s better, its about : who we are. Humans can imagine and create. We’re all different and special. We live in a physical world with physical needs but we are so much more. We need to acces our own consciousness and developp all the thing that we dont see but know are there. When we’ll be ready, they’ll be there.

Because they can’t come until people are open minded and ready to meet them. more then 85% of the world is still closed minded and at a low frequency. we need to wait until everyone gets to a higher frequency of thinking or otherwise we’ll set off a end of the world scenario where we rage a war with them when all they want is to help us. Or you can just look at the comments. That will tell you exactly why they won’t come yet.

It cracks me up that scientists, who claim they know things the rest of us can’t because we’re are not brainwashed in some “institution of higher indoctrination” can write such ignorant articles as this one and expect to be taken seriously. It’s well documented that most of the technology science claims to have developed came from aliens, and so the scientists pretend ET don’t exist so they can continue to claim credit for that which was given to them.

So what are you ignorant people gonna feel and what are you gonna do when the truth spills ? Cause aliens aren’t going to exist when you ignorant people say so? Do your research before you make yourself sound ignorant and close minded like I said there’s no need to change yalls mind the ignorant ones are all about there ego and being know it all ect…

They are and have always been here! they have rules too and if we say go away as a planet they dont come. Look at it this way more than half our planet would die of a heart attack or try to kill any alien coming here thanks to our fear & warmongering governments! They are here now in the thousands why do think there is so much change , the good guys are winning with a little help from our brothers an sisters from the stars wake up. UFO sighting are off the charts regular just ask and you will receive one haha

Look at the tiniest living organisms in our own world. We are all aliens. Imagine 100 yrs frm now , our styles ,politics, everything . We just need to grab a grip on violence and them trying to control us, because we might need a ufo to fly out of here,lol
